Can throwing knives work?

(TheStrangerous) #1

One of the scrapped mechanics were the throwing knives.
Any reason why they were removed? Is there a way we could bring them back?

They’re not coming back because instant ranged gibbing is kinda broken in the game (just as near instant ranged revives) and the devs realised this aswell. Hence they took it out.

They were removed for many reasons as the main reason they were used was for ranged gibbing.

They were the only augment that took something away, as in you couldn’t melee anymore, just throw the knife for 50 damage.

the knife’s model was wonky as I believe it was officially speaking hitscan but the knife was a sprite.

it didn’t drop with gravity unless you three it straight up.

it had an invisible cool down as each knife had about 15 seconds of cool down with 2 knives so you didn’t know when you’d have your knife back unless you equp it.

If anything that’s an argument to bring them back. As a counter for Spark’s Revivr
